  1. As a Student Teacher at Fort Clayton Elementary School in the Canal Zone, I taught an original unit on pioneers. This 'magic marker on sheet' 'quilt' was my second graders' final project.

  6. The case would be one of the most significant dealing with #religion in #PublicSchools since an ideologically divided #SCOTUS ruled in 2022 that a former public high school football coach’s on-field prayers were protected under the #FirstAmendment’s right to #FreeSpeech.
    In the current case, the [ultra-conservative] US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit in New Orleans upheld the #Texas #law on a 9-8 vote, overturning a lower-court ruling that found the measure #unconstitutional.

  7. I've done my bit for the American Labor Movement by walking the Picket Line for several weeks during teacher strikes in two different years. Strong Public Education equals a Strong USA. #labor #labormovement #americanlabormovement #laborforce #publicschools #picketline

  8. More than 20 states sue Trump administration over frozen #AfterSchoolCare, #SummerPrograms and more.

    Excerpt: "At the East Providence summer camp, Aiden, a rising third grader, played tag, built structures with magnetic tiles, played a fast-paced game with the other kids to review addition and subtraction, learned about pollination, watched a nature video and ate club-provided chicken nuggets.

    "Veteran teachers from his school corrected him when he spoke without raising his hand and offered common-sense advice when a boy in his group said something inappropriate.

    " 'When someone says something inappropriate, you don’t repeat it,' teacher Kayla Creighton told the boys between answering their questions about horseflies and honeybees.

    "Indeed, it’s hard to find a more middle-of-the road organization in this country than the Boys & Girls Club.

    "Just last month, a Republican and a Democrat sponsored a resolution in the U.S. House celebrating the 165-year-old organization as a 'beacon of hope and opportunity.' The Defense Department awarded the club $3 million in 1991 to support children left behind when their parents deployed for the Persian Gulf. And ever since, the Boys & Girls Club has created clubs on military installations to support the children of service members. Military families can sign up their kids for free.

    [...]

    "Aiden’s mother has started looking into afternoon child care for September when kids return to school in Rhode Island.

    " 'It costs $220 a week,' Reyes said, her eyes expanding. 'I can’t afford that.'

    "The single mother and state worker said she’ll probably ask her 14-year-old son to stay home and watch Aiden. That will mean he would have to forgo getting a job when he turns 15 in the fall and couldn’t play basketball and football.

    " 'I don’t have any other option,' she said.

    "At home, Aiden would likely stay inside on a screen. That would be heartbreaking since he’s thrived getting tutoring and 'learning about healthy boundaries' from the Boys & Girls Club program, Reyes said."

  9. This man appears to want #Trump #Bibles, not #inhalers, for #Oklahoma's #children, Ryan Walters is supposed to be Oklahoma's "Superintendent of Public Instruction."

  10. #Walz was an admired HS football coach who also advised a nascent #GayStraightAlliance. The Minnesota governor & Democratic VP nom wears outdoorsy flannel shirts but also sews his own buttons onto them. He is governor who made #MenstrualProducts available at #PublicSchools &, when *#conservative* critics later dubbed him “tampon Tim,” didn’t balk as his supporters quickly reclaimed the moniker as a badge of honor.
